Enum CfnDeletionPolicy

With the DeletionPolicy attribute you can preserve or (in some cases) backup a resource when its stack is deleted.

Namespace: Amazon.CDK

Assembly: Amazon.CDK.Lib.dll

Syntax (csharp)

public enum CfnDeletionPolicy

Syntax (vb)

Public Enum CfnDeletionPolicy

Remarks

You specify a DeletionPolicy attribute for each resource that you want to control. If a resource has no DeletionPolicy attribute, AWS CloudFormation deletes the resource by default. Note that this capability also applies to update operations that lead to resources being removed.

Synopsis

Fields

DELETE	AWS CloudFormation deletes the resource and all its content if applicable during stack deletion.
RETAIN	AWS CloudFormation keeps the resource without deleting the resource or its contents when its stack is deleted.
RETAIN_EXCEPT_ON_CREATE	RetainExceptOnCreate behaves like Retain for stack operations, except for the stack operation that initially created the resource.
SNAPSHOT	For resources that support snapshots (AWS::EC2::Volume, AWS::ElastiCache::CacheCluster, AWS::ElastiCache::ReplicationGroup, AWS::RDS::DBInstance, AWS::RDS::DBCluster, and AWS::Redshift::Cluster), AWS CloudFormation creates a snapshot for the resource before deleting it.
